O que você precisa
-
-
Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 6.75 mm long pentalobe P2 screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
-
-
Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
Got to step 2 and realized the fix kit doesn't include an opening pick! Looks like a guitar pick, and I have those lying around. Is that expected? Looks like the pick is used in many steps below. There's a little blue crowbar that isn't mentioned in the instructions. Perhaps that replaces the opening pick?
Hi! I can't see which guide you were using when writing this comment. Can you reply here with which guide and fix kit you used?
I see you posted this in Meta. I hope it's resolved soon! In the meantime, a guitar pick may work well enough for your repair.
what fix kit?

-
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's screen until the whole face is covered.
-
If you can't get the suction cup to stick in the next few steps, fold a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lift the screen with that instead.
-
-
-
Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.
-
Slide the arms over either the left or right edge of your iPhone.
-
Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone—one on the front, and one on the back.
-
Squeeze the cups together to apply suction to the desired area.
-
-
-
Pull the blue handle forwards to lock the arms.
-
Turn the handle clockwise 360 degrees or until the cups start to stretch.
-
Make sure the suction cups remain aligned with each other. If they begin to slip out of alignment, loosen the suction cups slightly and realign the arms.
good steps as I always have problems with my camera, but now I have known the reason. I have good cameras shopping in https://www.eromman.com/

Support your iPhone on something sturdy such as a hardcover book so it rests hands-free and parallel to the ground; this makes it easier to work with in the following steps.
-
Use a hair dryer to heat along the bottom edge of the iPhone. The screen should feel slightly too hot to touch.
-
Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.
-
Insert an opening pick under the plastic screen bezel when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.
-
Skip the next three steps.
-
-
-
Use a hair dryer or a heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the iPhone for 90 seconds or until the screen is slightly too hot to touch.
-
-
-
If you're using a single suction handle, apply it to the bottom edge of the phone, while avoiding the very edge of the glass.
-
-
-
Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the screen and the frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap under the screen's plastic bezel.
If you have the small single suction cup. You have to get glass up enough to get under glass and touch sensor. I inserted pick too soon and separated glass from screen. $200 mistake. ;) Worth buying suction vise tool to get screen high enough. I would try it again after this mistake. with that vise tool.

!WARNING! TL;DR using the iFixIt camera and this guide will result in a never-ending warning on your lock screen and system messages about it not being a genuine Apple camera.
The guide is great. Apple’s right to repair tenticals aren’t. I had the joy of having a friend ship the part from the US to Europe, since the parts weren’t available from iFixIt Europe — parts + shipping, +shipping to europe +import fees (Another $100+ on top of the cost). Turning the phone on for the first time revealed a pop-up about a non-Genuine camera. Then I proceeded to find a badge on settings which is permanently warning me that the camera isn’t genuine. The worst part, a push-style notification constantly on the lock screen notifying me of a non-genuine Apple camera. Needless to say, I’m incredibly unhappy.
Hi. Is the push message on the Lock Screen similar to the screen replacement message, in that it only continues for 4 days?

Excellent demonstration
Please explain how to power off the phone when the broken screen is not responding to touch.
